Nashville Ranked #1 in the Country for White Collar Job Growth since 2010

Forbes discusses Nashville as the top ranked city that appeals to millennials – stating “as companies leave high cost areas like Silicon Valley and San Francisco, they are shifting employment to places like Nashville where their employees can live decently.”

This pattern can be seen in the balance of our top-performing regions. It starts with our top-ranked metro area, Nashville, Tenn., which has seen business service employment grow 47.2% since 2010 to 152,700 jobs, with 7.7% growth last year alone. Some of this comes from the of Silicon Valley companies like Lyft and Everbright, as well as the expansion of the area’s strong health care and entertainment industries.

Nashville’s appeal to millennials is unsurpassed, with the strongest growth rate in net migration of college-educated people aged 25-34 of any metro area in the country, and the reasons are not hard to find. It’s a charming city located in a temperate part of the country, with both excellent, and affordable, urban and suburban options.
